Chapter 371 [Terminal]
After several days of sailing, the White Tiger and the Archangel arrived safely at the L4 colony satellite group. Here, Malu and others once again witnessed how well prepared Yang Hui was.
The L4 colony satellite group, which should have been abandoned, still had several colony satellites in operation. Aslan, Nicol and Diego knew that these colony satellites were occupied by unidentified people and were still in use, but they didn't know who they were. The ZAFT army did not find this mysterious organization after many investigations.
But today they learned the true identity of this mysterious organization.
"[Terminal], an organization secretly formed by aspiring people from PLANT, is committed to the peaceful coexistence of adjusters and natural people."
"Lacus!"
"That's right."
[Terminal] is a non-governmental organization jointly established by members of the Klein faction and other like-minded people. When it was first established, [Terminal] had very few initial members and did not plan to have its own armed forces. It was thinking about how to achieve its ultimate goal through lobbying, political influence, and public opinion.
After Yang Hui contacted Siegel Klein, he expressed dissatisfaction and suggestions on their methods, but the Siegel faction members who were full of gentle means sneered at this. They believed that the organization was originally established for the purpose of peace. If they prepared armed forces, wouldn’t it go against the original intention?
Until Yang Hui met Lacus and communicated with Lacus, and the war between ZAFT and the Earth Army became increasingly fierce, they had to accept Yang Hui’s suggestions and began to prepare their own armed forces.
Then Yang Hui and the [Terminal] organization launched a comprehensive cooperation, technical exchanges, intelligence exchanges, and even used the intelligence network established by Yang Hui in the early stage to spread their intelligence network all over the world.
Now, the Klein faction has been completely defeated in the political situation of PLANT and has almost lost all its strength. Fortunately, Yang Hui arranged for Siegel Klein to evacuate PLANT in advance, otherwise he would have been executed by the Sara faction as in the original plot.
Yang Hui led everyone to meet the person in charge of [Terminal]. When they saw who it was, Aslan, Nicol and Diego were dumbfounded.
"Former Speaker Klein!?"
"Oh, long time no see, Aslan, Nicol, Diego, I didn't expect that we would meet again in such an occasion."
Yes, it was Siegel Klein. Originally, Siegel Klein, like Lacus, was unwilling to leave PLANT. He wanted to struggle again and use the connections he had accumulated over the years to try to compete with the Sara faction in secret.
But after Lacus handed over the Freedom Gundam to Kira, he had someone forcibly take Siegel Klein away. This was also Yang Hui's reminder, which saved him from death.
"Well...long time no see, Mr. Former Speaker Klein."
"Shocked? I'm here." Siegel Klein asked the three people.
"No...no..."
"There's nothing to hide. To be honest, if I can, I don't want to be here. I want to go back to PLANT and continue to stop Patrick." Siegel Klein said dejectedly. Not long after he left PLANT, he received intelligence that the Klein faction was purged by the Sara faction one after another. Some were dismissed from office, some were arrested, and many were even secretly executed. The once self-satisfied network of people was shattered.
Siegel Klein was glad that Lux sent him away in advance, otherwise his ending would be miserable; at the same time, he was angry. He never believed that Patrick Sara would act quickly and ruthlessly, leaving no room for the Klein faction, and he didn't believe that his long-time friend would want to kill him; and he was helpless. His self-confidence was shattered. When he was still confident that he could fight against the Sara faction in secret, his daughter and Yang Hui had already seen his tragic ending.
"Mr. Former Speaker, have you... betrayed PLANT?" Although they knew they were not in a position to question Siegel Klein, Aslan, Nicol and Diego still wanted to ask, because although they were helping Orb, they still considered themselves as members of the ZAFT army.
"I have not betrayed PLANT, and I will not betray PLANT. That is my country. I just don't want to see PLANT go down the wrong path. I am only fighting against the Sara faction that controls the country's politics." Siegel Klein calmly answered Aslan and the other two, and asked them, "What about you? Why did you help Orb?"
"I..." The three of them hesitated and found it difficult to answer for a while.
"Is that so?" As an old fox, Siegel Klein saw through their inner confusion and did not question them. Instead, he comforted them, "You are still young, and it is normal to feel confused. What is important is not what camp you are in, but you have to use your own eyes to determine what is right and wrong for you, and what you should fight for."
"... Thank you very much, Mr. Former Speaker."
"Hey, don't worry too much, you are all excellent young people, the future of PLANT still needs you to support it, and Aslan... I'm sorry."
"No... nothing." Aslan was a little embarrassed. After all, he and Lacus were still ex-fianced couples, and Siegel Klein was his ex-future father-in-law.
"And you, everyone on the Archangel." After speaking to Aslan and the other three, Sigel Klein looked at Malu, Mu, and Baji Lulu, "I'll tell you your names in advance." I have heard that there are very few people who can make Cruze feel frustrated."
"You are exaggerating, Mr. Former Speaker. In fact, thanks to Yang Hui's help along the way."
"Yeah, so I'm not surprised at all that you guys are here at this time."
"Eh?" Ma Liu, Baji Lulu and Mu were stunned and followed Sigel Klein's line of sight to look at Yang Hui.
"This brat has an inexplicable charm about him. The more you come into contact with him, the more you will move closer to him. He does nothing but makes people fall under his influence." Siegel Clay Yin explained with a smile.
"I just thought you were complimenting me." Yang Hui didn't deny it. Anyway, it wasn't the first time someone said that about him.
"Hahaha, of course it's a compliment!" Sigurd Klein laughed and felt lucky at the same time, "You should be really lucky that you are not from the [Blue Cosmos] nor from the Sala sect. If so, the world would be really dangerous.”
"There are only two types of so-called racists." Yang Hui spread his hands and expressed his opinion to everyone, "Either he is a person who is conceited and has low self-esteem, or he is jealous."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Although Yang Hui's introduction was simple and clear, it was also true to the facts.
Conceited people look down on others, but at the same time they have an inferiority complex. Because they are not good enough, they are afraid of being surpassed by others, so they want to eliminate all pursuers and always be the first. The other is simple jealousy, jealousy of others' comparison. I am excellent, but I don't try hard to surpass the opponent. I think I am the most powerful if I eliminate the opponent.
Therefore, the Sala Party was born, and [Blue Cosmos] was born.
"A sharp evaluation, so... what are we going to do now?" Sigurd Klein asked Yang Hui. Although he is now the leader of [Terminal], he is now willing to hand over the command to Yang Hui.
"Just wait."
"Waiting? Waiting for Lux to return?"
"Not only, wait for the next move of the ZAFT Army and the Earth Army, wait for them to move the battlefield to the universe, it is time for us to intervene."
Now the ZAFT army and the Earth army are fighting to the death on the earth. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Yang Hui and the others can't intervene even if they want to. Moreover, the contradictions in the war have not yet reached their peak. Their intervention now cannot achieve the desired effect.
"I see."
"By the way, Mr. Siegel, do you still have anyone in your intelligence network in the ZAFT army?"
"No more. It must have been exposed a long time ago, so the Sara faction cut off all the intelligence lines as soon as they took action."
"Rumei, where are our people?"
"Yes, but it's easy to be exposed if we contact you now."
"...Choose the one with the greatest chance of evacuating, and on the premise of protecting yourself, deliver a piece of information to ZAFT and evacuate immediately after completion." Yang Hui hesitated. Every agent lurking in the local high-level is an elite, and they have climbed up to now. They have paid a lot for their status, and losing one of them is heartbreaking.
But when he thought of the importance of that piece of information and his own goal, Yang Hui decided to take the risk.
"What information?"
"The Earth Alliance is suspected of having obtained an anti-neutron jammer."
"What did you say!?" Not only Wang Rumei was shocked, but everyone present looked horrified.
"How is this possible!?" Aslan asked loudly. The technology of anti-neutron jammers is the top secret of the ZAFT army. Except for the local people, everyone who owns this technology is here. How could it be leaked?
"There is no airtight wall in the world, and don't treat the Earth United technical staff as fools. Is it true that nothing can be seen from the performance of our aircraft in the Orb Defense War?"
"This...but even if you can see it, it's impossible to get it..."
"Don't treat the spies of the United Earth as trash. As long as they exist, they may get it."
"This...Yang Hui, you mean...there are...people from them inside ZAFT?"
"It's definitely there, but I'm not sure whether they can get it, so I say 'suspected' to take precautions before it happens."
Yang Hui knew that the Earth Army would definitely be able to get this technology. After all, Kruse, the old man, would not watch ZAFT use nuclear power to suppress or even defeat the Earth Army again. He would definitely find an opportunity to use the anti-neutron jammer technology. into the hands of Murtagh Aznael.
It’s just that the truth cannot be told, otherwise it will not be clear why they knew it but didn’t tell it. Once the Earth Army does not have nuclear weapons, and they have ZAFT with Genesis and relatively complete cosmic combat power with only three battleships, they are looking for death.
